Great visit considering the time of the year we went. It will be really awesome once the polar bear exhibit opens!

A visit here is one that I am glad I did. With so much about the oceans and waterway we still don't understand this place makes that a great educational experience. Being from the Great Lakes region ( Lake Erie ) I never really thought much about the aquaculture that exists beyond it. The St Lawrence is teeming with life I never would have imagined. To also see creatures from the Amazon exhibit and the sea-horses, it truly engages the mind. This is a very family friendly place with lots for the kids to see and do but just as fun if you are by yourself. The polar bear enclosure is being rebuilt so it was closed but would look forward to going back again.We all enjoyed the jellyfish the most. Lots to see inside and out. Worth a stop as it’s close to many hotels.

It was a cold day when we visited, but in spite of that we had a great time. Highlights for me were watching the seals and walrus swim, seeing the antics of the Arctic foxes and touching the coral in the “touch tanks”. I am betting it would be even better in the warmer parts of the year when the gardens are in bloom - but perhaps the animals would have also been sleepier. Great backdrop for the outdoor show in the pool with the St Lawrence in the background! We would definitely return.My partner and I spent the entire afternoon at the Aquarium. It was extremely interactive with touch tanks, and demonstrations. There are rays, an octopus, walruses, seals, and and underwater tube. Truly an unforgettable experience. Make sure to take time and enjoy the jellyfish exhibit.

But the walruses were great and so was everything else.
